Journal Club

MAPP journal club is open to all psychiatrists and psychiatric APRNs interested in participating or receiving journal club readings, and regardless of MAPP membership. Our Journal Club started March 2006 and meets monthly at various locations. You can join in person, or participate by vidoeconference (contact Dr. Jeff Barkin at [email protected] or Dr. David Moltz at [email protected] for more information about remote participation). An opportunity to meet with your colleagues, journal club is focused on directed reading of selected contemporary papers in psychiatry. With a wide focus of topics, we also emphasize methods and research design to help members learn to interpret clinical trials.

Although we meet in person in Portland, other local area groups, such as in central Maine, are developing. All papers are distributed via the MAPP Journal Club listserv’s email to allow participants from all over to join. You can subscribe to the MAPP Journal Club listserv here. Links to abstracts of Journal Club articles and other past content can be found on the Past Journal Club Topics archival page. So come and join us: a social opportunity with a lot of learning and great food!

American Psychiatric Association (APA) to Offer TCPI Training!

APA is pleased to announce a new opportunity for psychiatrists interested in opportunities to advance integrated care. Last September, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) and awarded $685 million to 39 national and regional healthcare transformation networks and supporting organizations to support practice transformation through nationwide, collaborative, and peer-based learning networks.

As a TCPI Support and Alignment Network (SAN), APA received $2.9 million over four years to partner with the AIMS Center at the University of Washington and train 3,500 psychiatrists in the clinical and leadership skills needed to support primary care practices that are implementing integrated behavioral health programs. Once psychiatrists are trained (see below), APA will work to connect them with local Practice Transformation Networks (PTNs) participating in TCPI.

***Free training is available to psychiatrists through online modules and live trainings. CME credit is also offered. Content is similar for both training sessions so you may choose to participate in one or the other based on your learning preferences and availability.

Online Modules – Click here to get started! There are two parts to the training containing seven modules in all. It is recommended that participants complete both parts 1 and 2.
